The Negro Exodus,
Columbus Enqulror.]
In the October number of the Inter
national Review Mr. F. E. Guernsey, of
Boston, treats the exodus question with
ability and perfect fuirness. As the
subject will probably receive a consid
erable amount of attention, we copy
two extracts from Mr. Guernsy’s sensi
ble article—one showing how foolish is
the idea prevalent among the negroes
that they are wanted in ICansaB, wheth
er they have any thing or not; and the
other treating of the oharacter of labor
that might be substituted for their labor
should the negroes emigrate in forco.
A marked race prejudice is shown
against the negro immigrants by the
farmers, who are mainly Republicans
in politics. Among ’ the small white
fanners of the Louisiana hill-parishes
and the German settlers in Texas there
is exhibited the same antipathy to ne
gro neighbors. It may be set down as
a fact that any community of white
meu who tliemsolvea work in the fields
object to being brought into competition
with a race considered to bo inferior.
' the objections raised by Kansas
farmers to negro settlers is that the
blacks aro immoral, and they fear the
results of an association of the children
of the two races in the public schools.
Ex-Governor Anthony, of Kansas, a
life-long abolitionist and “pronounced”
Republican, said to the writer that he
was opposed to a pauper immigration of
any nationality or race, and therefore
bad no sympathy with the enthusipsM
who would open Kansas to the pauper
negroes of the South. The most po
tent reason against negro immigra
tion in the minds of leading men
of Kansas is a well-grounded fear
that the news of a numerous settle
ment of blacks in that State would
ferve to turn the tide of white immi
gration into Nebraska and Minneso
ta- A declared inclination on the part
of the present administration in Kan-
853 lo invito a large immigration of ne
groes would immensely strengthen the
‘““i“ Democratic opposition, even if it
should not result in a division of the
local Republican party.
The employment of Chinese in the
cotton fields of the South has often been
mooted; but, to our knowledge, the
only practical test, on a large scale, of
tiio alleged superiority of Mongolian
over African labor has been made in
Jexas, where about three hundred Chi-
| "nmon, imported originally to build a
inroad, have been employed as labor-
j? 0n , cot,ton plantations, nr have beon
towed to become tenant farmers. These
Jitinmen have proved to bo diligent

Hew a New York Drummer Put
American Honey on Queen
Victoria’s Table-
- . •
Correspondence Cincinnati Enquirer.
New York, Sept. 3.—It is a curious
commercial faot that whereas a year
ago no American honey in comb was
exported to England, not less than half
a million pounds will be sent in the
next twelve months. The trouble was,
honey could not be sent strained und
canned ior the reason it would candy,
American honey is by far the best honey
in the world as regards flavor and pu
rity of appearance. Knowing that a
New York firm hired Mr. Hodge, a well
known honey expert, to introduce it in
England. Over the water went Hodge,
with a big lot of the sweot stuff in the
comb. It required skill to pack it and
unload, but it arrived all right, not a
cell being burst. The English dealers
in honey gave him the cold shoulder,
They had the editors of the British Bee
Journal give him a raking down, and
they themselves added all the mem
things they could say.
Mr. Hodge made little headway. He
was about to give it up for a bad job
when a brilliant thought struck him.
He mustget the honey on the Queen’s
table. How was he to do this? While
his teeth after dinner and rum
ring flyer for spinning cotton.
1829—The same invented mills with
'T8s\-at“r;fc h. b» k
Oil the theories of storms.
1832—James Bogardus invented a
dry gns meter. , ,.
1834—Henry Burden invented ms
nail making machines.
1836.—James Bogardus invented a
P T^P?he same invented the molds
to press gloss in while blowing.
1341 The same made improvements
in drilling machinery. . .
Since then inventions and patents
have succeeded one another at a most
astonishing rate._
Americans pay raoro for teeth than
any other nation on the earth, and vet
they do nine-tenths of their ohewmg
with their stomachs^
The barber who overheard his Bon
speaking disrespectfully of the proles
stem took him into the woodshed and
lathered him
mating upon the subject, his eye alight
ed on a pickle jar. It bore the name of
a man who had been high steward in
Windsor Castle.
“He’s my man,’’ said Mr. Hodge to
himself, and away he went for the
pickle man. Did he rush up to him
blurt out:
“I want to put my American honey
on Victoila’s table?”
Not a bit of it. He began to talk
pickles with the man—asked a thous
and questions about how they were
made, ate a score or more of them, and
ended by proposing that the pickle man
furnish pickles to the American house
that he represented.
The pickle man was delighted. The
New York man gave him an order.
They had a bottle of wine together, and
then the American said:
“Now, I have helped you, you must
help me. Can’t you put American hon
ey on the Queen’s table?”
“Of oourse I can,” was the reply.
In no time the arrangements were
made. A cas9 of honey wes given to
the pickle man, and another sent to the
high steward, and in a short time some
of it was before the royal family. The
young folks liked it so well that Victo
ria gave orders ’hat it be kept in the
castle.
That was enough. American honey
was from the moment in demand. Mr.
Hodge has just sent orders for the ship
ment of 500,00 pounds of this year’s
crop. The British Bee Journal flopped
over to another side, and was loui
praising the American article. Every
fashionable person’s table must have
American honey.
Tbe Peabody Fund.
New York, October 3.—The trustees
of the Peabody fund again assembled at
the Fifth Avenue hotel yesterday. The
committee, consisting of Hamilton Fish,
Bishop Whipple ana General Baines,
to whom was refeircd that portion of
President Winthrop’s opening address
relating to the loss sustained by tbe
board of trustees in the recent death of
General Richard Taylor, of Louisiana,
who was one of its members, reported
resolutions in honor of the deceased.
The resolutions were adopted and placed
upon the record of the meeting. Wil
liam Evarts, H. H. Stuart, of Virginia,
and Chief Justice Waite, who on
Wednesday were appointed to consider
those portions of the president’s address
of thu general agents report that related
to the proposition to invoke the aid of
the national government for. the educa
tion of the colored children in the
Southern States, reported that they had
not arrived at any definite understand
ing in regard to the subject, and asked
leave to report fully at the next meeting.
The election of a successor lo the late
General Taylor on the board was also
laid over until the next meeting. The
trustees spent some time discussing the
condition of the normal college at
Nashville, Tennessee. The standing
committees were reappointed with the
exception that General Henry R. Jack-
son, of Savannah, was appointed to fill
the vacancy on the executive committee
caused by the death of General Taylor.
On motion of Mr. Evarts the board
adjourned to meet at Washington Feb
ruary 18th.
